Goliath 2.3 & 2.4

Julio, friend of mayoral candidate, is now liability for her.  She is having an affair with Billy, but Billy is on to her reluctance to help him help Julio. He smells a rat. He also gets the head of the "real" murderer delivered to him in a box. Corrupt cop has to decide whether to do time or risk being killed by cartel. LA developer and pervert (likes to masturbate watching people with missing limbs .  . . YIKES!) is also in the crosshairs of the cartel. However, the cop's buddy who seems so under control . . . he might be the one to get it.

Billy's daughter lives alone in a huge house through all this.  Hello, Billy--the cartel might just go after her! Brittany, the para-pro ex-prostitute is being played by the real estate developer. She betrayed Billy in the last season, she just might do it again.

Happy Valley Season 4

 Weakest.  Tommy is in prison.  His son, Ryan, is now 17.  Catherine the cop's sister, Clare, takes Ryan to visit Tommy in prison, without telling Catherine.  Not good.  Sisters have a break when Catherine finds out.   Plot two:  PE teacher, abusive to wife.  She is getting drugs from local Indian/Pakistani pharmacist. Husband finds out and has wife arrested!  Pharmacist worried . . . plots to kill husband.  Wife agrees, then changes her mind.  Pharmacist in a rage kills her. (All a bit of a stretch, as he is a mild mannered family man.) Tommy escapes from his court hearing, hides out, gets in touch with Ryan.  Plan is to go to Marabella, Spain together.  Tommy's "helpers" get worried about Tommy and decide to do him in.  Instead, he kills them . . . and is knifed himself.  He returns to Catherine's house, looks through a photo album showing Catherine took good care of Ryan, and decides not to kill her....

"Sadie Smith" is embedded by a shadowy group into a radical commune. She is to spy on them. Kushner's characters are great; her insights terrific; her use of language awe-i...

Tess of the D'Urbervilles, continued 2/3rds

"To all humankind, Tess was only a passing thought. Even to friends, she was only a frequently passing thought." Angel Clare is a good character. He's "enlightened," in so many ways, but when Tess's confesses her "crime," he reverts to ancestral form . . . Tess's "confession" comes earlier than I expected, right after Angel reveals that he has had a bad moment with a woman. Tess points out the similarity in their transgressions, though his is the only true transgression, expecting forgiveness. She doesn't get it. She returns to her mother . . . realizes she can't stay with her. Thoughts to suicide. Unhappiness that divorce is not possible. Departs. Tragic in that the two, if Angel could just see clearly, would indeed be a great couple, each adding to the other.  Nature as a definite force involved in the tragedy.  It's not neutral--when things go bad, the very skies mock Tess. Tess as unaware of the power of her bea...
